I'm going to hope that they actually just want to see an Excel icon on the
task bar for each workbook that is open. (Creating a new instance of the
Excel application for each file opened is generally a bad idea for many
reasons)

So, try this:
ToolsOptionsView
Select: Windows in Taskbar

Does that help?
